Title: An Electric Door-locking Device.
Inventor: PETER CHARLES
Filed: 1905-06-21
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 12,822. Peter, C. June 21. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Electrically - controlled fastenings ; latches; sliding bolts.-Relates to an electric door-locking device in which an electro - magnetic motor is utilized for releasing the door latch from its catch. As shown in. Figs. 1 and 2, the casing a on the door frame contains the rotatable armature f and the electro-magnet h, the armature f being geared by the rack and pinion d, e to the sliding bolt b, which is adapted to slide in front of the opening m in the casing, through which the door latch n passes. As shown in Fig. 2, the latch n is retained by the bolt b, but, by energizing the coils g, the armature may be caused to rotate, thus withdrawing the bolt band allowing the door to open. The armature and bolt are returned to their former position by the spiral spring l on the armature axle. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the latch n<2> is mounted in the door frame, and the releasing- mechanism on the door, the bolt b in this case pushing on the end of the latch and forcing it out of engagement with the box a. In the modification shown in Figs, 8 and 9, a pin q on the armature is adapted to strike the catch lever r so as to release the angle-piece s<1>, against the arm s of which the latch bolt n takes. The last two modifications are adapted to be operated by hand, by means of keys actuating the armatures.

The heel of the tongue is formed with a pivot pin 14, through which pass gibs 15, 16 and a cotter 17 for securing the tongue 12 in position, sufficient play being allowed to permit the point tongue to move laterally slightly. The stock rails 1, 2, Fig. 1, are cut away at the grooved portion and slightly bevelled at their inner surface 5, Fig. 3, to allow the switch tongue to be placed in position, and the inner guide-rails 6, 7 are cut away at the side to correspond with the curved side of the tongue 12. The tongue is supported by bearing-surfaces 13, Fig. 2, on a packing-plate 11 connecting the stock rail and guide-rail, the end of the plate being curved upwards to correspond with the shape of the tongue. The tongue is secured to the adjustable stretcher bar 21, Figs. 3 and 4, by plates 19, 20 bolted to the stretcher bar. The points are operated by a rod passed through a slot in the cover-plate 37 to engage an arm 30 of a forked lever 27 pivoted at 25 on bearings 23, 24 at the bottom of the casing 22, the other arm 29 of the lever being provided with a counterweight 31. The lever 27 is provided with projections which engage, when the arm 30 is moved to either of its extreme positions, a cranked portion of a pivoted lever 26, the upper end of which enters a slot 28 in the stretcher bar 21 and moves the points.

Abstract: 28,909. Schneider, E. Dec. 18. Mountings ; loading - appliances. -Consists in means for housing light naval guns in vertical wells extending from the gun-deck to a lower deck. Figs. 1 and 4 are vertical sections in planes mutually perpendicular, showing the gun in its firing and housed positions, respectively. Fig. 8 is an enlarged section, showing the upper end of the ammunition hoist. The gun-carriage a, which is tubular and extends downwards into the well i,' is guided in its up and down movements by ringsk, m, and'is rotatably supported by a ball-bearing d upon the upper end of a tube f. For raising or lowering the tube, its lower end is connected by a rope g, passing over a pulley g<1> mounted on the well i, to a hand or power actuated winch 4. The gun points vertically when housed. As it is being raised above the deck h, the muzzle passes through the aperture 12 in the cover-plate 7 of the well, until stays 8 on the gun engage with the plate which is then keyed to the stays, so that when the gun is turned into the firing position the plate serves as a shield. Bolts q engage in recesses in a ring r on the tube f to support the latter when in its uppermost position. When the gun is housed, a collar w rests upon the bolts q and supports the tube. The cartridges are raised to the left-band side of the gun by an endless conveyer 15 which, when the gun is housed, collapses as shown in Fig. 4. The belt has pockets 16 for supporting the cartridges, and spring-plates 22 for directing them into the passage 21 at the upper end of the hoist. Pedestal carriages for lighter guns may be raised or lowered in the wells by telescopic jacks, or by other suitable appliances.

Title: Improvements relating to Repeating Mechanisms for Watches or other Clockwork Movements.
Inventor: PICARD EDMOND

Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 14,462. Picard, E. June 22. Repeating-mechanism.- The quarter-snail b is driven by a wheel e, Fig. 8, on the minute-arbor by a pin f, and itself drives by means of a stud 41 a starwheel 42 carrying the hour snail c. After this stud has actuated the starwheel, the surface of the succeeding tooth turns the snail b from R to S, Fig. 8, there being sufficient play between successive teeth e<1>, e<2>, of the wheel e. The bridge 7 pivoted at 8 carries the repeating train, which is geared to the regulator 11, the first wheel 9 being connected by the spring- actuated pawl 20 to the spindle 18, which carries a pinion 23 and at its lower extremity two sets of teeth 3, 27, Fig. 2. These teeth respectively actuate the spring-controlled hammers n, 29. When the thumb-piece z is pressed down, the rocking lever k turns about the pivot l, the rack U turning the bridge 7 on its pivot sufficiently to free the teeth 3, 27 from the hammers, and rotating the pinion 23 until the tappet m engages the hour snail. Simultaneously, the branch q of the rocking lever cocks the spring s and removes the nose v from the teeth of the quarter-piece T, allowing the spring i by bearing on the pin 48 to turn the quarter-piece about its pivot 47 as far. as the plug 50 about the pivot h of the quarter-piece g will allow, and then to throw the quarter-piece into engagement with the quarter snail b. When the thumb-piece is released, the spring s returns the rocking lever then controlled by the train 9, 11, the teeth 3 actuating the hammer n to sound the hours, and the teeth 27 operating the hammer 29 to sound the quarters, the number of which is determined by which of the teeth t, t<1>, t<2>, t<3> of the quarter-piece the nose v strikes, these teeth being arranged at different distances from the centre 47.
